The PDF reader in Cybook is not better now (it may be better in the future, but this is just speculation). But for reading non-technical, non-PDF literature (fiction, etc.) the Reader is already equipped just as well of better than Cybook, and will probably stay so.

Why was 505 ergonomically better? And how do you tell that the manufacturing quality is better? I do not turn my Cybook off so there is no delay in starting reading.
For reading fiction the Cybook is for me much better since it supports dictionary lookup and it will probably stay better in the future also. It is also lighter so ergonomically it is better.
